The factory where Oskar Schindler employed — and saved — over a thousand Jewish workers is now Kraków’s most powerful museum. The permanent exhibition, Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945, walks you through the city’s wartime years room by room: the ghetto, the resistance, everyday life under terror, and the story told by Spielberg’s Schindler’s List.
Entry is timed and daily visitor numbers are strictly capped — this is one of the most-booked museums in Poland, and same-day tickets are rarely available at the door. Book ahead.
